APPEARANCE AND ODOR: Fly ash consists of minute glass spheres with some crystalline matter and varying amounts
of unburned carbon. It ranges in color from light tan or light gray to almost black depending on the proportions of
carbon and iron. Bottom ash is a granular material similar to fine concrete aggregate (concrete sand). It ranges in
color from a medium brown or medium gray to almost black. Boiler slag is granular and angular with particle size
similar to bottom ash. Slag is shiny black in color and its form resembles crushed coal or black glass. No odor.
